Advanced Packaging Trends in the Semiconductor Industry

Abstract

Advanced packaging is an important technology that is now taking over from advanced processes to help the semiconductor industry continue to grow. The researcher found that the personnel in contact with the semiconductor industry chain have already had a preliminary understanding of advanced packaging, however, the future development trend of the advanced packaging industry still lacks a comprehensive knowledge. Therefore, the research topic of this paper is the development trend of advanced packaging industry. The research methodology of this paper is as follows: firstly, to understand the concept and development trend of advanced packaging, secondly, to list the factors driving the development of advanced packaging, and finally, to understand the development direction of international enterprises in advanced packaging. This paper finds that after the chip process technology has entered the "post-Moore era", advanced packaging has been widely used in the fields of high-end logic chips, memories, RF chips, image processing chips, touch chips and so on. Advanced packaging technology tends to be diversified in function, stacking and connection. According to Yole, a market research organization, the global share of advanced packaging in the IC packaging and testing market will continue to increase. At the same time, Yole predicts that the global compound annual growth rate of traditional packaging will be only 1.9% from 2019 to 2025, which is much lower than the growth rate of advanced packaging. Advanced packaging is the key path to improve system performance in the post-Moore era.
